EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston around 1910, showcases the stunning carriage house of the Mary Scott Townsend House located at 2121 Massachusetts Avenue, N.W. in Washington, D.C. The Townsend House, a Beaux-Arts masterpiece designed by the esteemed architectural firm Carrère and Hastings, was originally the residence of Mary Scott Townsend. Later in time, it became the home of Mathilde and Sumner Welles. The photograph presents an enchanting monochrome image of the carriage house, with its grand blue door, intricately designed doorway, and a winding path leading to a terrace. The building's facade, adorned with classical columns and detailed ornamentation, exudes an air of elegance and sophistication. Embassy Row, a prestigious residential area in Washington D.C., is the backdrop for this architectural gem. The Townsend House, with its rich history and stunning design, is a testament to the grandeur of the early 20th century in America. This photograph, part of the Frances Benjamin Johnston collection at the Library of Congress, is a valuable piece of heritage art that transports us back in time, inviting us to explore the history and beauty of Washington D.C. and the United States during the 1910s.
